 Re: defective Buffet double clarinet case

I know a player with an RC Prestige from the early '80s and the keys on that are as soft as butter, so the RH F/C touch is constantly bending which puts it out of regulation on a regular basis.

The F/C touchpiece being the culprit due to the length of the touchpiece arm that angles round to join the key barrel - with such a long overhang to clear the Ab/Eb key and how thin the metal is due to the cut-out on the underside, it bends just by looking at it.

Only earlier on this week his RC Prestige took a tumble at the end of a rehearsal while packing up and all the RH keys were either put out of regulation or the pad cups had bent so the pads no longer seated, so I straightened it all out for him at no charge as I had very recently serviced it. Even though it was accidental damage which would normally command a minimum charge, I didn't feel it was right in this instance and it only took about an hour to sort out. Besides, I get a lot of work passed onto me through him.
